So wait, I'm confused, what's official word from FROM about the invasion mechanics? People are posting contradicting info in this very thread. And, what's the deal with this weapon level invasion limiting stuff I've been hearing about? CuddlyZombie fucked around with this message at 22:11 on Mar 22, 2016 |

Official word from days ago on their very site is that you need to fondle the finger, crack the knuckles as a host for a 1v1 invasion play, if not using the red soapstone. Period. Peoples hope is that it's a fuckup. Personal hope is that you have to be in a PvP covenant to be able to do 1v1 world-zone invasions via the red eye orb. Weapon level infusion, a player taking a weapon to +5 max will most likely not be invaded by a player with a +10 weapon, something like that. Prevents +10 weapon lowlevel twinks as a goal at least. I hope to see what this means for caster builds.

Well, I certainly hope that isn't the case. I don't like invading myself, but I do like the idea of being a blue sentinel, and that didn't work at ALL in DS2. I'm hoping that if solo invasions become easier, then people will be more likely to be in way of blue while playing through the game normally.

I will probably be way of the blue all of my first playthrough.

Genocyber posted:Way of the Blue has been in one game so far. sorry, I was thinking of the other blue phantom covenant in Dark Souls 1. I guess they served totally different purposes, but my brain mushed them together since 'blue'. Either way, I never got either of them to work . I barely got Gravelord invasions to work, but I at least got a few of those. Every other type of PVP in both DS1 and DS2 I've done ad nauseum.

The ring invasions were a crapshoot, and they kind have always been for some reason. The Blue Sentinel/Way of Blue protection racket thing in Dks2 was a crapshoot as well, yeah. Mainly due to the lack of invaders. So hopefully only being able to invade people with phantoms is incorrect otherwise that will again be useless.

Meatsicle posted:You confirmed this? Did a streamer go through every menu option? No, but all previous Souls games have been like that. I have the Japanese version of SotFS PS4 and it's like that. X/O is also the opposite of the English versions. Fromsoft are entirely Sony, Bamco handle anything localization/Xbox/PC. Something to think about.

Don't use japanese amazon to purchase digital xbox gift cards. You can't purchase them without a Japanese credit card even if you use a gift card. They are region locked and require the japanese credit card to verify. I tried to get around this by using an amazon gift card and vpn before I realized it required the japanese credit card no matter what. Now I think I'm going to be hosed because there are no returns on amazon gift cards (I requested a return anyways). I could not find another site selling yen gift cards in the right denominations to equal 7500. They were either sold out or only sold them in 2000 and 5000. If anyone finds one post it here. nifty1 fucked around with this message at 02:06 on Mar 23, 2016 |

I think the hope lies in the fact that Bloodborne JP has a "standard" language option based on your console settings. I'm sure you're right though and that was Sony's doing.

You won't, the cheapest way of getting a Yen card is simply by having one sent physically to someone in Japan (I did this using Sofmap, 10k yen flat), and having them email you the code. also https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kBwC75zuQ5hfvifsmHHIlszK1CRC7dmSRdCdoI5Xwd8/edit?pli=1#gid=548366882

Direct hit system or w/e looks to be confirmed. Dude missed (a lot) with the greataxe and did no damage, but hit close enough to stagger enemies (and make skellies blow apart for a bit).

How big/active has the playerbase remained on PC versus consoles for DS2/DS? Normally I'd stick with the PC version, but I'm assuming that sales numbers for it will be a fraction of console sales, especially because it's apparently a kind of mediocre port. That and the fact that hacking, if it is an issue, is almost certainly going to be a bigger problem for PCs as the PS4(or comedy XONE option) hasn't been cracked.

Heavy slowass weapon (greataxe/mace) giving trouble at many points watching that stream today and oh gently caress has the damage started rolling in beginning with the previous zone. The area past the second boss is officially considered the hubworld so direct zones in connection will feel softer and easier. e: Things look familiar and I wanna be a voice-actor like that e: And NPC business, Yeol is dead, likely not killed on purpose considering the streamer's reactions. No hollowing, no hollow-counter active. Streamer keeps on missing seeing the place where Yuria is always Ghosts n Gopniks fucked around with this message at 04:05 on Mar 23, 2016 |

With that I've seen seven out of 18 areas in the game. Feels like there's at least Bloodborne x2 worth of PvE time in there even if I think back a year to my first playthrough of BB. New streamer starting out fresh as Assassin: https://www.twitch.tv/mtsuzuki8 unfortunately playing with the twitch chat bar streamed visible.
